[slim] suddenly no sync
After using powered speakers for years I recently set up a system using a receiver (Yamaha RX-V379BL) but seem to have lost the ability to sync between a Classic and a Boom (in an adjacent room). Its not critical as I also have new speakers that can fill up the entire space but it would be nice to know that it is still possible to sync as I have another Classic upstairs. I've tried all the usual tricks that I am aware of in order to get rid of the half-second (or a little less) lag but nothing works. Any general thoughts would be much appreciated . . .

I don't think anything happened on my end - computer with LMS on it untouched, and actively connected to the internet, etc. Thanks for responding. Assuming you are running LMS on a PC: one solution is to turn you squeezeboxen (that is your player or players) to mysqueezebox.com before turning them off. Then when you turn them on again they will connected to it. You will still have to turn on your computer to access your music folder but this solution will prevent you from having to go through the set up process every time. The other solution is to make sure your PC (and thereby LMS) is turned on before you turn on your squeezebox(en).

[slim] 2nd Chance
Set to receive a new Squeezebox today. 1st unit shared (had) the same MAC address as another and that was resulting in some problems (see below). Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not I should uninstall my existing software and then reinstall upon reciept of the new device or does it matter? What is the best way to proceed? Thanks much. __ I seem to have a problem or rather a lack of some basic comprehension as to how my Squeezebox et.al. should be configured/set up. I have muddled through and figured out how to get everything to work (Squeezebox plays my music library on my stereo and I can switch it to Squeeze Network and listen to radio streaming like the BBC World Service feed, as I am doing now and I can access the music library on my PC via Softsqueeze) but only if I am careful. A problem arises though if the last thing that I had listened to/used on the Squeezebox was SlimServer. In this scenario, I turn off the Squeezebox - and at some point also turn 'off' my PC (sleep or hibernate or whatever). Later in the day, I turn Squeezebox on to listen to the radio via Squeeze Network without turning on my PC. Squeezebox attempts to connect but in that the last thing I had been using was the aforementioned SlimServer, Squeezebox attempts to connect to it but cannot and it proceeds into set-up and eventually resets (in Dutch I might add) itself. I know how to prevent this from happening, just by making sure the last thing that I tuned in on Squeezebox was Squeeze Network or to always have my PC turned on, but this can't possibly be the correct set up, can it? I suspect the problem is related to the fact that 2 players are recognized. One (xxx.x.x.x:x) when Squeezebox is off and another (xxx.xxx.x.x:x) when Squeezebox is on. Is it just a matter of asking SlimServer to forget about the 127... player (presumably my PC?) ? I am leery of asking it to do so without asking here first. Your help is very much appreciated.

Re: [slim] Boxed in
I appreciate the reply but I don't have any problems connecting to Squeeze Network, that is as long as it was connected the last time I turned Squeezebox off. The problem (if it is one?) arises when I am listening to my music library via SlimServer and I turn off the Squeezebox and also shut down or put my PC to sleep. If I then try to access Squeeze Network via the Squeezebox (without my PC running) it automatically goes into a reset whereby I lose my presets, favoties, language, date-time format etc.). I can get around the problem by eitehr a.) just making sure to tune Squeezebox into Squeeze Network before turning Squeezebox off OR b.) making sure my PC is running before turning Squeezebox on But, since Squeeze Network is supposed to be an always-on service, it seems to me as though something is amiss somewhere and that it is something basic with how I am connected. -- HeavyB HeavyB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42323 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
